1. Reciprocating screens are normally inclined at an angle of 5° with the horizontal and employ gyratory motion at feed end & reciprocating motion at the discharge end. They are not suitable for the screening of the
Correct Answer: heavy tonnages of rocks or gravel.
2. Higher is the mesh number, smaller will be the aperture size of the screen. It means that the aperture size of a 200 mesh screen will be smaller than that of 20 mesh screen. This is valid for
Options
A. British standard screens.
B. German standard screens (DIN 1171) etc.
C. American standard screens (ASTM and Tyler standard screens).
A. Cummulative analysis for determining surface area is preferred over differential analysis, because of the assumption that "all particles in a simple fraction equal in size" is not needed for cummulative anslysis unlike differential anlaysis.
B. A gate diagram is a plot of cummulative percent by weight undersize vs. the reciprocal of diameter, in which the area beneath the curve represents the surface.
C. Capacity of crusher in choke feeding is increased.
D. Rolling of pebbles/balls from top to bottom of the heap in tumbling mills is called 'cascading and throwing of the balls through the air to the toe of the heap is called 'cataracting'.
Correct Answer: Capacity of crusher in choke feeding is increased.
5. Mechanical conveyors which push the material along an endless trough or tube are called scrappers. Which of the following conveying equipments comes under the category of 'scrappers'?
Correct Answer: Reactions with high activation energies are very temperature sensitive.
9. At low Reynold's number, the power (P) required for agitating a fluid in a stirred tank becomes independent of inertial forces. In this limit, indicate which of the following relations is satisfied: Po = ?/?N3 D5 : Power number Re = ? N D2/?: Reynold's number N is the impeller rotational speed, and D is the impeller diameter.
